Announcing PHP-GTK

Posted by michael on from the proving-grounds dept.

whyDNA? sends us this news bit: "I found this on the PHP page: The first release of PHP-GTK is now available. PHP-GTK is a PHP extension that provides an object-oriented interface to GTK+ toolkit and enables you to write client-side cross-platform GUI applications. For more information, visit gtk.php.net."

    I'm pretty sure you're getting this totally wrong.

    This is nothing to do with using PHP in web pages at all. In fact, it's nothing to do with web pages.

    This about using PHP as a script interpreter, just like you use perl or python as a script interpreter.

    So this certainly won't allow you to embed GTK applications in web pages: that would be neat, but would require a browser-plugin at the client end, and require the PHP code to be send to the client end. So the client would need the PHP interpreter.

    It won't allow you to embed gtkhtml in IE, either ;-)

    I'm the author of PHPTriad and would like to point out that I've got a testing version of PHPTriad 2.0 available which I consider much more stable and complete than the version that download.com is pointing to. It's linked from a news story on www.phpgeek.com.
